I got let down by another garage unable to complete agreed work due to tools. All sorted at Absolute VW Sharlow!! Excellent service. Got me in straight away. Sorted bearing. Found a few more faults that needed sorting straight away! (Brake line). Checked the van over fully and gave advisories for future work. Can't recommend them enough!! ☆☆☆☆☆

Had our T25 camper repaired by the team at Absolute VW recently. These guys are professionals from start to finish. Our van needed extensive welding in order to pass it's MOT, along with several other repairs. The price Simon initially quoted turned out to be a lot less than expected in the end. We appreciate the honesty shown by Absolute VW, as finding anyone who knows how to repair and maintain older VW's in the UK is no easy task. Despite the distance, we wouldn't go anywhere else in the future. Thanks very much!

I found the guys at Absolute VW simply awesome. For a novice VW owner like me they took me through everything I needed to know, fixed stuff and stopped me spending money where I didn’t need to spend it. Always helpful when I need alittle advice also. Thanks Simon and all the lads at Absolute VW. They sort all my VW mechanical needs and I can’t recommend them enough 👍🏽
